WEASA 2018 call for applications

WARSAW EURO-ATLANTIC SUMMER ACADEMY2018 EditionCALL FOR APPLICATIONS

The College of Europe Natolin Campus, the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) and the Polish-American Freedom Foundation (PAFF) announce a call for applications for the sixth edition of the Warsaw Euro-Atlantic Summer Academy (WEASA) which is scheduled to take place between July 9th and July 20th, 2018.

The title of WEASA 2018 is The Politics of Technology: Information, Disinformation, and Security in a Digital Era.

Topics covered during WEASA 2018

WEASA 2018 will look into several topics, including:

· The media and journalism in a digital age

· The fight against misinformation and disinformation

· The role that social media plays in politics and democracy

· The personal and institutional dimensions of cybersecurity

In short: the digital world has often managed to transform our political and social worlds in profound, if often near-invisible, ways. Many issues, from the role of disinformation in politics to free speech, manifest themselves very differently in the digital era than they did only decades ago. Our goal is to make WEASA participants aware of how our politics, society, and security have changed in a digital era.

Eligibility

WEASA 2018 is addressed to participants coming from a cross-section of society and specifically from public administration, academia, think-tanks, media and civil society organizations.
